2. Psoralea biovulata Bolus, l. c., p. 135 (Leguminosae-Galegeae). 
Ps. ovario biovulato distincta, etiamque exstipulata. 
Fruticulus gracilis, decumbens, ramosus; rami ramulique patentes, 
gracillimi, angulati, paucifoliati, 30—50 cm longi, juniores albosericei 
demum glabrescentes; folia exstipulata, remota, rigida, appressa vel 
erecto-patentia, lineari-subulata, acuminata, 0,2—0,3 em longa, marginibus 
incurvis, superne albo-sericea, subtus glabra; flores 1—3, in ramulis 
divaricatis brevibus, saepius terminales, geminatique, rarius subracemosi : 
pedicelli 0,1—0,2 cm longi; bractea subulata, colorata, aequilonga; calyx 
turbinatus, externe albosericeus, minutissime glanduloso-vittatus, 0,4 cm 
longus, segmentis binis posterioribus alte connatis, ceteris alte fissis 
lanceolatis acuminatis, tubo 2—3-plo longioribus; vexillum reniforme, 
emarginatum, unguiculo brevi, 0,6 cm longum; alae obovatae, auri- 
culatae, vexillum paullo superantes; carina obtusa, basi auriculata, cal- 
carata, vexillo paullo brevior; ovarium lanceolatum albo-sericeum, 2-ovu- 
latum. 
Cape Colony; South-western Region, Bredasdorp district, between 
Elim and Napier, amongst shrubs, flowering in October, Bolus, 6902. 
An interesting species differing from the usual generic characters 
by its 2-ovuled ovary, and the absence of stipules. The translucent 
glandular dots are very minute, but may be detected on the calyx. 
It may be placed next to E. tenuissima, E. Mey., from which it is at 
once distinguishable (besides the characters given above) by its very 
short pedicels.
